| Well be honest - you're a real suspicious looking character. And you're obviously not a native when you look for a trash bin. Very suspicious.
If you'd walked through the main terminal with a machine gun nobody would have bothered. |

Location: closely held secret | I couldn't find one. They told me to just set my empty cup down and someone would be along to clean it up.
When I asked them why there weren't any trash cans, they said, "Because people kept putting things in them". I still looked confused, so they added, "Things that go bang". |

They really don't know what's coming, do they...? |

(Now can someone PUH-LEEZE lock the American gates?) |

Location: Boise, Idaho | My wife and her sister happened to be talking about some friend who raved about the British food on some recent trip. They concluded she must be nuts or has never been anywhere before.
To be fair, I am not fussy about food, McDonald's is fine with me, but was also disappointed with the food in Italy. It was good, but it turns out that our "Italian food" is much different than the real thing. Otherwise the Italians would all be fat like us. You don't see many "British" food restaurants over here, though, for some reason. Even our fish and chips are fish with "French" fries.
Oh, you can leave Jeff in the picture. It might help to see him with someone good looking for a change. The only pictures I've seen of him, he was with you guys. |

You would think so, wouldn't you? But, in Jeff's case, it really doesn't. It's a real paradox, Mark. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I vaguely remember that the pics of one of the tours had a nice looking young lady posed among the rest. I don't remember if Jeff was in the pic. In fact I don't remember who was there except the young lady. That's what I mean by the suggestion that it would help. Until then, I can't get fillhixx picture out of my head. I expect that Jeff would have his hat on, though. |

Talking English is tough. I had a partner here who retired and went on a senior mission for the LDS church. When they sent him to England we told him how lucky he was that he didn't have to go through the school to learn a foreign language. He said it took him about 6 months to be able to understand their "English." |

So, Fu@k it all ...
